A new exhibition at 19th St. Oakland Station has been installed in the light boxes that replaced the original phone alcoves as part of the 2023 station upgrades. Intended for rotating art displays, the glowing lightboxes featuring site specific reinterpretations of artworks by four Bay Area artists.

Filled with florals, organic textures, and scenes inspired by the natural beauty of the Bay Area, the exhibition brings a burst of spring into the heart of downtown Oakland.

Each of the works, created by Courtney Cerruti, Liz HernĂĄndez, Carrie Lederer, and kija Lucas center botanicals, inviting riders to pause and experience a moment of inspiration as they travel through the station. The project was led by the BART Art Program that engaged curator Lisa Solomon, a local artist and educator who is actively involved with local Bay Area art and artists.

“I think it’s really exciting that people get to see [art] in their daily lives. They don’t have to go to a museum, they don’t have to be familiar with artwork; they just have to look up while they’re commuting,” said Lisa Solomon. The project is “all about bringing the outside in.”

“It was really important to show the gamut of what florals can do in art,” she said.

The artworks are located at four locations inside the station, all visible without entering the paid area: three on the eastside of the station near the entrance/station agent booths, and one on the westside of the station across from the mid-station agent booth. They will be on display at least through fall 2026. The pieces complement three stairwell lightboxes (located between the lower and upper platforms) with permanent installations by artists Ron M. Saunders, Phillip Hua, and Lisa and Hailey Banks.

“The role of the art program is to align with BART’s efforts to enhance station environments making people feel more welcome, and connecting with nearby communities,” said BART Art Program Manager Jennifer Easton. Other recent projects supported by the program include the writing contest BART Lines: 826 Valencia, Sound Tracks Music Festival, Fruitvale murals in partnership with The Unity Council, and the upcoming BART Police Headquarters, North Berkeley and Dublin Pleasanton station art enhancements currently in development.

MORE BART PROM TICKETS go on sale THURSDAY MAY 28th at 9 am on Railgoods.com!

The first round of BART PROM tickets sold out, so we got more for you!

Get your tickets, finalize your 80s outfit, cut loose, footloose, Kick off your Sunday shoes — see you there !?

On Saturday, June 6, from 6pm to 10pm, the Rockridge Station parking lot will transform into a fully decorated dance hall for BART Prom: Enchantment Under the C Line, an all-ages, 1980s-themed celebration with an under-the-sea twist. Whether you missed your prom, just want a do-over, or younger kids in your house want to experience a prom, this is your stop.

The night will feature a DJ and live band playing hits from the 80s and beyond. The BART Prom Court will be crowned at 8pm (more info on how to enter to win below).

Every ticket includes entry to the event, unlimited punch, a BART boutonniere or corsage, and a printed prom photo keepsake.

The event space will be transformed with rad decorations that blend prom-night sparkle with under-the-sea flair.

A BART Prom Court will be crowned during the event, just like a traditional prom! Winners receive special BART-themed crowns and free entry to the event.

To win the coveted crown, post your BART promposal on social media by May 31 and tag BART (see handles below). Staff will select three finalists, and the public will vote for the winners via an Instagram poll before the event.

What’s the C Line?
That’s how BART staff internally refer to a section of the Yellow Line, and for one night, we’ll venture “under the C” to celebrate. The 1980s inspiration comes from a defining era for BART, when service expanded, ridership surged, and new train cars and infrastructure helped shape the system riders know today (and who doesn’t love an 80s prom?).

Dress code: 80s-inspired, any generation of prom attire, under-the-sea themed, or any creative look that fits the vibe. Outfits must be appropriate for an all-ages event.

Preorder 2026 BART Holiday Merch today thru June 5 on railgoods.com 😄

Over the past five years, BART has offered many variations of our beloved holiday sweaters. This year, we stitched them all together into a gloriously chaotic creation, allowing you to wear multiple eras of BART holiday merch at the same time.

It’s fun. It’s maximalist. It’s festive. It’s the BART Holiday Frankensweater. And even though it’s getting hot outside, we believe it’s never too early to start your holiday shopping.

Orders are anticipated to ship in September, giving customers plenty of time to prepare for sweater season. You can also select the option at checkout to pick up your items in person.

Other featured holiday goods include the BARTy Light-Up Necklace (special presale price: $9.99) and BARTy Holiday Sticker ($1.99).

Sweaters cost $49.99 and are available in sizes XS-5XL. Sweaters run small, so we recommend sizing up. For the presale only, we are offering the following promotional discounts on holiday purchases. The code does not apply to non-holiday merchandise.

Enter the discount codes at checkout:
$10 off purchases of $50 or more - HOLIDAY10
$25 off purchases of $100 more - HOLIDAY25

“Riders have been asking us to bring back some of our older holiday sweater designs, and this year’s sweater does just that, making it both nostalgic for longtime fans and fresh for new customers,” said Director of BART Customer Services Erica Iñiguez-Diaz.

Expect compliments, questions, and at least one stranger yelling across the platform, “Where’d ya get that?”
